The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 290 Meeting Old Classmates_1

"Qingzi?!"

Li Yongchang, with a buzzcut and a gold necklace around his neck, stared at Li Qing for a moment before exclaiming in surprise and swooping in for a big hug.

"Kid, you’re doing well for yourself now, huh? Couldn’t even find you," said Li Yongchang, punching Li Qing with a laugh.

Li Qing reached out to tug at the gold necklace around Li Yongchang’s neck, "The little money I make isn’t even enough to afford your chain, so how good can it be?"

"It’s fake, just for show!" whispered Li Yongchang.

"You’re modest, for once," Li Qing chuckled. Maybe it really was genuine.

"By the way, was it you who was looking for me the other day?"

Li Yongchang glanced at Wu Xingxing by Li Qing’s side, "This little beauty is unreliable, didn’t even pass on my big name."

"My... girlfriend," Li Qing said after a slight hesitation.

The hesitation was not out of reluctance to speak, but because Li Qing worried Wu Xingxing might feel uncomfortable with the label.

Fortunately, Wu Xingxing didn’t seem to mind Li Qing’s introduction. She smiled gently with a hint of shyness, nodding her head in greeting to Li Yongchang.

"Tsk tsk, kid, not bad scoring such a pretty and cute girlfriend," Li Yongchang sighed while scanning Wu Xingxing up and down like a scanner.

The aggressive gaze made Wu Xingxing immediately feel uncomfortable, and she hid behind Li Qing.

"You still behave just like before with girlfriends, can’t you keep your eyes straight?" Li Qing punched Li Yongchang irritatedly; the guy hadn’t changed a bit.

Li Yongchang rubbed his shoulder, chuckling, then pulled the girl by his side close to him and proudly introduced her to Li Qing, "Qingzi, recognize her? Our class beauty, chased by me and got her, heh."

The girl seemed a bit angry because of Li Yongchang’s previous ogling of Wu Xingxing.

She pushed away a couple of times, breaking free from Li Yongchang’s embrace.

Li Qing took a closer look at the girl and suddenly remembered, "You’re... Chen Fei?!"

The girl glanced quickly at Li Qing and nodded.

"Remember now? Back in the day, the guys chasing after Chen Fei were as numerous as the sheep in my family’s pen. In the end, heh, I took out everyone and successfully tricked her into my hands," Li Yongchang boasted proudly.

Chen Fei punched Li Yongchang, her expression somewhat displeased.

Even though Li Yongchang was blustery, it did take some skill to win over Chen Fei.

Back in school, Chen Fei was indeed one of the prettiest girls, her hands tired from receiving love letters.

Pretty then, and now, even more beautiful.

Long hair flowing, her figure slender and graceful.

Even more beautiful without clothes!

Li Qing, looking at the proper and well-posed Chen Fei in front of him, naturally envisioned her and Li Yongchang’s earlier intimate moments. Such a beautiful girl, what a shame.

He truly felt as though a fresh flower had been placed atop a pile of dung.

"Qingzi, I heard you’ve become a big boss now?" Li Yongchang crossed his legs and tilted his chin up towards Li Qing, asking.

"Become a big boss? What rumors have you been listening to?" Li Qing smiled wryly, shaking his head, "A small stir, can’t make much money, barely getting by, you really shouldn’t make fun of me."

"Here’s the thing, I’m planning to open a domestic service company in the city, why don’t you come work for me? Top salary!" Li Yongchang said with the air of someone well-off, very boldly.

"You’re starting a company? That’s great," Li Qing smiled, "Is this why you were looking for me?"

"Half and half, this is indeed one of the reasons," Li Yongchang replied, "I don’t have many trustworthy people. A company can’t last long without them. So, what do you think? Interested?"

Li Qing shook his head and declined without hesitation, "I’m busy with acquisitions and farming, so I can’t work for you. But I appreciate the thought."

Li Yongchang blustered about his salary being maxed out.

But in truth, if it were to be paid out, he likely wouldn’t earn in a month as much as Li Qing did in a day.

Li Qing didn’t even need to consider it.

"What’s the point of farming? How much can you really make messing around in the fields all day?" Li Yongchang said with disdain, "I think you should stop considering it and come work with me. I guarantee you won’t be treated poorly!"

Li Qing still shook his head and declined Li Yongchang’s offer, "Better not. This little family legacy that our ancestors left us is all I have. I don’t want to throw it away. Making ends meet in other ways, life can still be decent."

Seeing Li Qing so resolute, Li Yongchang nodded and replied, "Alright then, if you ever change your mind, just let me know. My place doesn’t have those annoying problems other companies have. You’re welcome anytime."

Li Qing nodded and gave a simple response.

Then he asked, "Did you need anything else from me?"

"I’m planning to organize a gathering and invite our old classmates to catch up," Li Yongchang said, "It’s been so long since we graduated, and we’ve never really gotten together. I want to take this chance to strengthen our bonds and get to know each other better."

"I need your help to get it all set up; I don’t have contact details for some people."

"That... It’s been a long time since I’ve been in touch as well. I only know a few classmates," said Li Qing.

Due to family circumstances, he wasn’t keen on socializing.

The number of middle school classmates he was still in contact with could barely count up to three or five.

"It’s fine, just contact the ones you know," Li Yongchang said, "and when the time comes, we’ll pick a place together."

"No, I can help you contact them, but I won’t be going," Li Qing replied.

He had a lot of things going on recently and had no time for gatherings.

Moreover, he wasn’t keen on those kinds of events.

"What are you doing? It’s a rare chance for everyone to get together. Don’t be a spoil-sport. I’ll be upset if you don’t go!" Li Yongchang put his arm around Li Qing’s shoulder and said, "Here’s the deal, I’ll choose the location, you contact the people, and then you just show up."

"I’ll see if I have time. If I do, I’ll go," Li Qing offered a compromise.

He would decide based on the situation then.

"Good, just don’t let me down!" Li Yongchang stated.

"Oh, by the way, we just picked some wild fruits on the mountain, they taste really good. You should try some," Li Qing said as he took a handful of the fruits from Chen Fei’s bag and tried to put them into Wu Xingxing’s hands.

Wu Xingxing glanced at Li Qing and stepped aside to avoid taking them.

"Don’t be shy!" Li Yongchang insisted on giving the fruits to Wu Xingxing.

Li Qing stopped him, "Give them to me. You’ve already got a girlfriend and still behave like this. I really want to punch you!"

"It’s just some fruit, nothing else," Li Yongchang said before turning to hand the fruits over to Li Qing.

"I’ll get you some more," he added.

Chen Fei was clearly annoyed, she glared at Li Yongchang and said, "I’ll get them!"

She grabbed a handful of fruits and placed them into Li Qing’s hands.

Their palms touched unintentionally, causing Li Qing’s heart to beat faster all of a sudden.

Chen Fei seemed quite sensitive too.

She quickly glanced at Li Qing and her face turned red for a moment.
